Bilinguals differ from monolinguals in attentional resource allocation during spoken language processing
Bilingual experience may enhance attentional control, but little work has addressed whether monolinguals and bilinguals differ in allocating attentional resources. Focusing on speech processing, we examined listening effort via pupillometry in English monolinguals and simultaneous bilinguals, while they listened to passages in a familiar or unfamiliar language. Results demonstrated similar pupil responses across conditions in bilinguals, yet mono…
Jazz Piano Training Modulates Neural Oscillations and Executive Functions in Older Adults
Musical improvisation is one of the most complex forms of creative behavior, often associated with increased executive functions. However, most traditional piano programs do not include improvisation skills. This research examined the effects of music improvisation in a novel jazz piano training intervention on executive functions and neural oscillatory activity in healthy older adults. Forty adults were recruited and randomly assigned to either …
Effects of temporal order and intentionality on reflective attention to words in noise
Reaction Time Intraindividual Variability Reveals Inhibitory Deficits in Single- and Multiple-Domain Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
RT IIV may detect subtle differences in inhibition deficits between aMCI subtypes that may not be evident with conventional behavioral measures. Findings support the supplementary use of RT IIV when assessing early executive function deficits
Toward a neurophysiological theory of auditory stream segregation
Auditory stream segregation (or streaming) is a phenomenon in which 2 or more repeating sounds differing in at least 1 acoustic attribute are perceived as 2 or more separate sound sources (i.e., streams). This article selectively reviews psychophysical and computational studies of streaming and comprehensively reviews more recent neurophysiological studies that have provided important insights into the mechanisms of streaming. On the basis of the…
Aging and the Segregation of Auditory Stimulus Sequences
This study aimed to clarify whether the age-related decline in selective attention widely reported in the literature can be attributed to a selective deficit in the segregation of relevant streams of sound from irrelevant ones. Young and older individuals responded to infrequent deviant stimuli (targets) mixed with distractors in situations that facilitated perception of one or two streams of sounds. Both young and older adults showed the same de…
Cognition et performance
Les textes qui composent cet ouvrage collectif sont organisés autour du thème général des rapports qui s'établissent entre la cognition et la performance. Ils décrivent et analysent les différentes activités de traitement de l'information qui interviennent au cours de l'accomplissement d'une tâche motrice et dont la mise en œuvre retentit, avec plus ou moins d'efficacité, sur la performance. Ainsi sont abordées : - les opérations mentales déclenc…
